There is an abundance of choices available when it comes to rejuvenating the bathroom. But the decision-making process can still be confusing, if not overwhelming for some. One of the main aspects of my role as a designer is to think of fresh new takes on décor that can be used differently.

Achieve a calm bathroom sanctuary with Calacatta Marble Tiles

Marble as Bathroom Tiles

Despite working with several different materials, I have to say that many of my favorite projects have used marble, albeit in different ways. I find that marble is very adaptive. And we can use it to create a series of bespoke spaces around the home. We can use black and white marble, for instance, as floor tiles or wall tiles.

The use of marble can be more expensive in some instances. This stone has the durability and quirkiness. This means that you are making an investment that will hold its premium aesthetic over several years.

Fortunately, there are plenty of materials to choose from, and those looking for some inspiration when it comes to overhauling the appearance of their bathroom often look towards Italian marble.

Bathroom Tile Ideas With Marble 

There are many different forms of Italian marble available, but I will be looking at Calacatta and Aspen white. Although both offer a high-end finish and a material that is easy to maintain, some differences set the two Italian marbles apart.

Below are two bathroom tile projects that use marble in fresh and exciting ways and showcase what can be achieved with classic material.

Calacatta Gold Honed Marble

As we know, the iconic Italian sculptor and painter Michelangelo was the person who discovers Calacatta gold honed marble. He delivered a modern interpretation of a design that has been popular with artists for thousands of years. The beauty of this iteration of metamorphosed rock has also meant that it has become popular with those looking to add some quirkiness to their bathroom.

The veiny aesthetics of Calacatta gold honed marble is bold enough to make an impression but subtle enough to be used effortlessly with other materials to offer a fresh and premium aesthetic that will make the bathroom one of the most popular rooms in the home.

Despite the history associated with Calacatta gold honed marble, this interpretation of the metamorphic rock is perfect for those looking to give their bathroom a modern overhaul that offers the ideal respite. Just because someone is looking to achieve a minimalistic aesthetic does not mean that patterns are a no-go.

Those not familiar with marble may assume that all bathroom tiles are the same. But there are a lot of differences depending on where the marble originals. For example, those looking to get the best from their bathroom will often consider Italian marble thanks to its purity and durability.

The below bathroom project highlights how simplicity can still look alluring and allows for a luxurious décor that is not expensive to achieve.
